Cousin Kerry's wedding
I spent much of yesterday evening at a wedding for Bonnie's cousin Kerry and her fiance Phil. I'm not much into weddings, so I surprised myself by having a really good time at this one.
A lot of it had to do with impeccable planning on the part of the bride and her mom -- no detail was overlooked, and the food and venue were fantastic. Part of it had to do with having a genuinely good time with the people I was with -- I'm going away for a week tomorrow (actually, tonight), so it was nice to spend some time with Bonnie and without the kids doing a "grown up" thing, and I like her family. But part of it also was just getting to celebrate a happy day with other happy people.
Bonnie's family is tremendously talented artistically, and her brother and her cousin Kerry's brothers are all incredibly gifted musicians. A live band played, and they generously let Kerry's brothers Justin and Michael, Michael's girlfriend Tishara and my brother in law Eddie play a few songs for the crowd. Of course, everyone got up and danced. A good time was had by all.
